Amazon is reportedly asking some workers to volunteer to help with orders on Prime Day. Office workers in New York are being asked to work two-hour shifts to help pick and pack orders for Amazon Fresh.

Volunteers were asked to donate their time to work at Amazon's warehouse in Brooklyn, where they would pick groceries, prepare carts and bags for delivery, and pack boxes on receiving carts.

The bogus Amazon ad and website claim to sell “unwanted stock”, but customers need to be made aware that these have nothing to do with the retail giant. The advert reads: "Take advantage of the great savings that come with the large warehouses that are massively and aggressively clearing out slow-moving stock."
